cast between 200 - 240 grains over Unique makes for some good loads, useful for far more than just punching holes in paper. 240 on up over 2400 or H110 are certainly business class loads which will pretty much eliminate most of your desires for anything jacketed save a few 180 - 220 grain hot rod hollowpoints.

My reasons for using certain powders have nothing to do with Penny pinching and everything to do with enjoying shooting a specific gun, MORE! Hot, high power loads over H110 are not what I am looking to shoot all the time at the range. Since I have a ton of other powders, I want to see what works best, FOR ME, and that is why I have asked for some advise as to what others are using. As for casting my own, not interested in breathing in lead or spending the time to do it. I actually spend more time reloading than I even do shooting....both of these are things I really enjoy! The rest of the time is left for my woman, the kids and riding our Harley's. To each his own!
